I have been working in higher education for the past 7 years. Bring educational opportunties to my local commutity is the main priority of both of the current programs I work with. The Early College Program at YC provides college earning opportunities to high school students. Some students have even completed their two-year degrees and industry certificiates. The YC Promise Program is an incredible opportunity for students to graduate with their degree tuition-free.
